lli/ly invention relates to retrigerators and ice cooled chambers, and more particularly to a device tor measuring the amount ot ice consumed in the same, the result being obtained hy a measure orregister Jformed in the drain pipe, 1which correctly records the `vvater which passes through the same. rlhis result is possihle trom the tact that the Weight ot `water and ice are the same. ltr/ly device also comprehends the idea et a locking screen tor the ice chamber ot the retrigerator so that the party who delivers the ice can secure the same and thus protect the company trom traud.

i turther ohject is to have a device that vvill loe etticient, durahle., may loe easily and cheaply installed. and can he easily repaired or renevved when Worn or injured.

lln the drawings forming a part ot this specitication, and in which like symbols ot reference represent corresponding parts in the several views Figure l is a view ot an ice hon with tho device applied thereto;

lt'irgure 2 is a section showing the locking means ot the screen or metal top;

ltligure 3 is a section ot the meter; and,

Figure t is a section ot the meter showing the gears tor controlling the dials.

ln the drawings the numeral l represents the retrigerator; 2 the screen at top ot the same; and 3 the lock tor the same. t is the drain pipe; 5 the meter for the device; and t3 the shatt upon which the meter is supported. l represents one huclret ot the meter and 8 the other9 the olojiect heing as one fills and dumps trim the other immediately starts tilting, and the operation is repeated. 9 are hunters against which the arms l() Contact vvhen the device operates. ll is a sprocket vvheel which is adapted to engage teeth on the shaitts oit the dials. l2. i3, and llt, represent thedials, which intermesh, and represent tens, hundreds7 and thousands.

My device may he placed at any point in the drain pipe, though it is generally prefer able to place it towards the bottom ot the same.

rlhe operation ot the device will he appar ont trom the foregoing description ot the parts et the same. its the *water runs through the drain pipe it t'alls into one huchet and as the same fills and dumps the other is brought into operation, and the process is repeated.

Having now tally described my invention,

what l claim as new, and desire to secure ley lLetters Potent, is

l. t refrigerator having therein a drip conduit, and metering moans within the drip conduit for measuring the amount ot drip water tlowing therethrough.

2. t refrigerator having therein a drip conduit, means tor holding ice and directingf the drip water into said drip conduit, and metcrinpr means vvithin the measuring the amount ot drip water tiovving therethrough. f
